Overnight stay
We were breaking our journey, so only there overnight, but it was a great stay. Wonderful having the animals strolling outside. Ideally a longer stay would be better to experience more that's on offer. Facilities were good. Direction signage could be better placed.

There is lack of back up Power during load shedding. There is no water during load shedding as they only use borehole water. We had no water and couldn’t shower, the staff was unhelpful.

We enjoyed our stay at St Ives. The staff were so polite and helpful. One staff member (David) came by to check that everything was alright with our room and then offered to make a fire in our veranda grill stove while we went out to buy meat for dinner. When we came back from the store there was a wonderful fire there, ready for us to start grilling immediately. What service!

BORING BROWN
It was raining very hard and we had to run to our room in the rain, there is no cover to the rooms. The rooms are boring, brown and terracota, there is no special attention given to the rooms or bathroom. The pillows are way too high so you cant get comfortable.

We only had electricity in one or two lamps our entire weekend, whether load shedding was on or off. Even when we heard the generator running, will still didn’t have lights, kettle, etc. We still had lovely hot water, so it was all a bit strange. Thank goodness for a lovely fire and early nights.

Clean, spacious and beautiful surroundings.
The accommodation is spacious and clean in beautiful peaceful surroundings. The room interior itself could be updated, especially with 4 stars.
